Marilyn Manson – Mechanical Animals
So I have the layout for wallaceandgromit.net pretty much finished… as soon as the DNS is all redirecting the site to the right place I should be all set %)
So it being the 15th the first Cracking Contraptions short has been released! YAY Wallace And Gromit! I watched it this morning, it’s pretty funny, also the trailer is out for “Cracking Contraptions” .. unfortunately they arent releasing a region 1 dvd, not yet anyway %(! Big meanies!!! Anyway, a new friend of mine (who lives in the UK, met her in #deep13, big mst3k fan) pointed out this morning that on bbc.co.uk they were having an interview with nick park! So at 10:45 this morning (3:45 there) I watched it. It was really cool, I even took a few screenshots so it’ll be like, my first real article on WallaceAndGromit.net!! %)
Last night we went out to CompUSA to get a powersource. R2’s old one was 250 watts, and we needed at least 300 for a p4 processor. Since I do have 3 harddrives we decided it would be best to get a little more than that… so ended up getting a nice 400 watt one (for $60, gah…). It’s nice and quiet %) not any louder than my 250 watt one, which is good. I should be getting my mobo, proc, and ram any day now… I’m very excited %)
So I am in a bit of a depressed mood, despite all this good stuff. I talked to my sister today (the 19 year old one) and she was like “it’s funny talking to people and telling them that I’m going to college… they are like oh that’s great I was worried you were going to be like your older sister… ” WTF? I hate people… just because I didn’t go to college I am all of a sudden a huge disappointment and FAILURE to these people?! I dont know who said that, she wouldnt tell me, but apparently it happens often. I guess I’m upset because these people have NO idea what I’ve done in my life… and I guess part of me feels like I AM a failure because all growing up I heard “if you dont get a college degree you will FAIL FAIL FAIL FAIL!!!” *haunting echo* Heh… I dunno, I have SEEN these computer science majors, they don’t know what they are doing… I doubt a degree would do any good besides getting me a pretty piece of paper saying I know what i do. I doubt I’d learn much besides some math I know I am lacking in… *sigh*
Anyway, I was in windows today (i know, bad habit) ’cause I wanted to watch wallace and gromit! And it’s released for quicktime only, no quicktime for linux. Anyway I decided to wander over to musicvideos.com (or launch.com? Or is it owned by Yahoo! noew? gah whatever..) and watch some videos because I havent in a while… and I saw this newish Korn one, and it was all about being an outcast in high school. It was in the top 20. Not this is very interesting, a song about outcasts and a majority of people like it, doesnt that betray the very roots of the song? I mean this happens quite often… Does everyone feel they are an outcast in high school? Will anyone ever actually admit they were a jock? or that they are popular? This one girl I know said that she was so lonely and so outcast… and then the next day she was going out with all her friends… and that she was getting ready for the prom and being SO “anti-prom” by wearing ‘goth’ clothing. WTF? Seriously, being a loser isnt fun. Eating lunch in the hallway with two or one or NO friends is not “cool” Not uttering a word the ENTIRE day in school is not something to aspire to. I know, I was like that in high school. I wasn’t picked on, or beat up, but I really was the kid in the class who didnt have a partner, I really didn’t have a lot of friends. And am I proud of this? NO! I still have nightmares about high school, I STILL get a dreadful feeling when I go into a school building.
Hmm this has turned into rather depressing entry, I’m gonna go work a bit more on my website I guess, that usually cheers me up. *wanders off*<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
